In the case of the inspectors, it was an outrage to refuse
defendants' counsel the right to address the jury.

It was an outrage to refuse to instruct the jury that if the
defendants, being administrative officers, acted without any
criminal motive but in accordance with their best judgment, and in
perfect good faith, they were not guilty.

Judge Selden has passed to his eternal rest and lies beneath a massive
monument of granite in beautiful Mount Hope cemetery. Mr. Van Voorhis
thus paid tribute to his associate in this noted case: "His argument on
the constitutional points involved is one of the ablest and most

which she scattered broadcast. She also had printed 3,000 pamphlets, at
a cost of $700, containing a full report of the trial, and sent them to
all the law journals in the United States and Canada, to the
newspapers, etc. The Democrat and Chronicle said of this book, "We
believe it is the most important contribution yet made to the
discussion of woman suffrage from a legal standpoint." None of the
other cases ever were brought to trial.[75]

Miss Anthony had no fears of not being abl
